Unique Headers

Setting a category (or other taxonomy) header image, only causes that header image to show on the category page itself. It does not make the header image show on the single posts of that category.

To add this functionality, please install the Unique Headers single posts extension plugin.

Actually, it does work 😉 The problem is likely with your theme. Some themes have “custom headers”, but don’t use the built-in WordPress custom header system and will not work with the Unique Headers plugin because of this. It is not possible to predict how other custom header systems work, and so those can not be supported by this plugin. To test if this is the problem, simply switch to one of the default themes which come with WordPress and see if the plugin works with those, if it does, then your theme is at fault.

This is a complex question and not something I can teach in a short FAQ. I recommend hiring a professional WordPress developer for assistance, or asking the developer of your theme to add support for the built-in WordPress custom header system.

Yes, as of version 1.5, support for publicly viewable custom post-types was added by default.

Yes, as of version 1.5 of the Unique Headers plugin and version 4.4 of WordPress, support for all publicly viewable custom taxonomies was added by default.

There isn’t one.

I prefer to allow you to set the width and height yourself by opening a correct sized image. This allows you to provide over-resolution images to cater for “retina screen” and zoomed in users. Plus, it allows you to control the compression and image quality yourself. Neither route is better in my opinion. If you require this functionality, please let me know though, as if most people prefer the other route, then I may change how the plugin works. I suspect most people won’t care either way though.

Mostly, but I only actively support the latest version of WordPress. Support for older versions is purely by accident. Versions prior to 4.4 will definitely not work with categories and tags.

Yes. Just send me a message via my contact form with precise information about what you require.
